Introduction to Ophthalmology Clerkship

VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: This clinical clerkship provides brief exposure to general and subspecialty ophthalmology at Stanford University. The clerkship consists of spending time in clinic, the OR, and teaching sessions at Byers Eye Institute and the Palo Alto VA. Designed to provide an initial exposure to ophthalmology. For students interested in pursuing ophthalmology, the rotation can be taken prior to taking the longer 300A rotation. For the non-ophthalmologist, the rotation is an excellent way to learn more about ophthalmology. PREREQUISITES: Because of the rotation between sites, students must have access to some form transportation (its a long bike ride between Byers and the VA, but you need a car to get to SCVMC). At all sites, parking is free. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12. Full-time for 2 weeks, 2 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Euna Koo M.D., eunakoo@stanford.edu.
